Now that the writers have reached a deal on the strike action, Rafe et al are doing AMAs again, for anybody interested.
Someone asked about channeling rules, and Sarah Nakamura replied the following which clarifies some things.
They must still have some retention of the saidin/saidar divide (to make it necessary for Logain to teach Rand) but that doesn't make it clear if sensing use of the one power is universal rather than gender specific. So I wonder if a channeler can sense any active channeler but only see the weaves for their own side of the power. I wouldn't mind that as a change actually.
